An absolute URI that is used to identify this evidence when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance; also called its canonical identifier. This SHOULD be globally unique and SHOULD be a literal address at which an authoritative instance of this summary is (or will be) published. This URL can be the target of a canonical reference. It SHALL remain the same when the summary is stored on different servers.
A formal identifier that is used to identify this summary when it is represented in other formats, or referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance.
The identifier that is used to identify this version of the summary when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the summary author and is not expected to be globally unique. For example, it might be a timestamp (e.g. yyyymmdd) if a managed version is not available. There is also no expectation that versions can be placed in a lexicographical sequence.
Indicates the mechanism used to compare versions to determine which is more current.
A natural language name identifying the evidence. This name should be usable as an identifier for the module by machine processing applications such as code generation.

The status of this summary. Enables tracking the life-cycle of the content.
A Boolean value to indicate that this resource is authored for testing purposes (or education/evaluation/marketing) and is not intended to be used for genuine usage.
The date (and optionally time) when the summary was last significantly changed. The date must change when the business version changes and it must change if the status code changes. In addition, it should change when the substantive content of the summary changes.
The date on which the resource content was approved by the publisher. Approval happens once when the content is officially approved for usage.
The date on which the resource content was last reviewed. Review happens periodically after approval but does not change the original approval date.

An individiual, organization, or device responsible for officially endorsing the content for use in some setting.
The content was developed with a focus and intent of supporting the contexts that are listed. These contexts may be general categories (gender, age, ...) or may be references to specific programs (insurance plans, studies, ...) and may be used to assist with indexing and searching for appropriate evidence instances.
